Salt Scrub Soap

So I can no longer get the Bolivian Sea Salt so instead I used the same salt blend that I use to make my Salt Scrub: Dead Sea Salt, Spa Salt, Sea Salts, Epsom Salts, Dendric Salt. This is actually very nice because it is a mix of sizes from the kid of grain you's commonly use as table salt to huge hunks of salt.

Why are these types of salts beneficial? Magnesium is important for both combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish following intense exercise. Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important for the lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for immune system function). So we can see that bathing with high quality sea salt could replenish the minerals which are critical to our skin metabolism.
